Global patterns of population genetic variation through time offer a window into evolutionary processes that maintain diversity. Over time, lineages may expand or contract their distribution, causing ...

As organisms adapt to environmental changes, natural selection modifies the frequency of non-neutral alleles. For beneficial mutations, the outcome of this process may be a selective sweep, in which a...

Quickdraws is a mixed-model association tool with a noninfinitesimal prior for analyzing binary and quantitative traits, using a scalable variational inference that allows analysis of biobank-scale co...

A deleterious mutation in the tomato transcription factor SSP2 was enriched during domestication. Repairing the deleterious mutation in cultivated tomato by base editing leads to compact growth and ea...

A rare dominant yellow SCC allele in B. napus was identified, which significantly increased SOC and decreased SLC simultaneously.

A language model predicts the effects of genetic variants in the human genome.

A haplotype-resolved genome of hybrid sugarcane cultivar XTT22 and population analyses of Saccharum accessions highlight the genome evolution of allopolyploids and provide opportunities for sugarcane ...

RNA plays an essential role in a wide range of biological processes. Gaining a deeper understanding of their functions can significantly advance our knowledge of life's mechanisms and drive the develo...

FastOMA achieves fast and accurate orthology inference, with linear scalability.

Background: Centromeres mediate chromosome segregation during cell division. In plants, centromeres are loaded with CENH3-variant nucleosomes, which direct kinetochore formation and spindle microtubul...

Plants have colonized lands 450 million years ago. This terrestrialization was facilitated by developmental and functional innovations. Recent evo-...

This study presents 11 new hornwort (Anthocerotophyta) genomes that clarify the structure and evolution of sex and accessory chromosomes in bryophytes and shed new light on the early evolution of land...

Latent embedding multivariate regression models multi-condition single-cell RNA-seq using a continuous latent space, enabling data integration, per-cell gene expression prediction and clustering-free ...

It is unclear how environmental change influences standing genetic variation in wild populations. Here, we characterised environmental conditions that protect versus erode polymorphic chemical defenc...

A single reference genome is not enough to harness the full genetic variation of a species. Here, the authors review pangenomics principles, construction and applications for orphan crop improvement, ...

Genomics has revolutionised the study of invasive species, allowing evolutionary biologists to dissect mechanisms of invasion in unprecedented detail. Botanical research has played an important role ...
